Your website analytics should be simple, fast and privacy-focused

Fathom is a simple, light-weight, privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics. So, stop scrolling through pages of reports and collecting gobs of personal data about your visitors, both of which you probably don’t need. Our website stats show up on a single, blazingly fast dashboard so you can make business decisions quickly.

Simple website analytics

Our analytics give you just what you need: your top content, top referrers and a few more useful details. Everything you need is on a single screen, so you can use the data to make decisions quickly.

No cookies notices

Because Fathom doesn’t collect any personal data and we’re GDPR and CCPA compliant, you don’t need cookie notices (we don’t even use cookies).

Unlimited websites

All of our pricing plans include unlimited: websites, custom domains and email reports. That means you can track your company site, weekend project and personal blog, all from the same account.

Ready for surges in traffic

Our software is built to handle billions of page views and uses enterprise-level architecture. So your site won’t ever be slowed down by our tracker, and our fair pricing model protects you from big bills for occasional overages.

Fathom is trusted by thousands of small businesses to power their analytics.

We’re also used by Fortune 500s, pioneers of the Open Web and governments who trust our software to provide them with a simple and easy-to-use alternative to Google Analytics.

I needed a tool that tells me how many visitors the site gets, what the most popular pages are, and who the top referrals are. I don’t like the idea of having more data points than I need. Fathom does exactly that.

Seb Noël, founder of alligator.io & Paleo Leap

I switched to Fathom because it’s an ethical analytics tool that I can trust with my data. The interface is beautifully simple to use: it shows me everything I want to know about my site's performance, and nothing I don’t!

Fathom is the perfect privacy-based Analytics solution for us. We can provide the metrics that our clients need and reassure them that their customers' data isn't being shared with faceless companies.

Darren Pinder, owner of Vatu

Developers are pretty tech-savvy people, and these days very privacy-cautious–they understand how scripts follow you across the internet, that’s why we choose Fathom, because they don’t do that.

Oskar Krawczyk, cofounder of JSFiddle

Today, so many big tech corps are abusing our privacy. This is why I use Fathom. They’re an analytics company that respects users. It’s mindful technology I can trust.

Justin Jackson, cofounder of Transistor

Fathom simplifies the task of analyzing site performance while simultaneously respecting my visitors' privacy. It also happens to be a joy to use.

Jon Henshaw, founder of Coywolf

Fathom gives me all the data I’ll ever need in one quick glance. Plus, it feels good to be on the rebellious side of the privacy battle.

Jack McDade, founder of Statamic

Not only is their product and support awesome, but they've shown how much they actually care about their privacy-focused mission.

Miguel Piedrafita, founder of Sitesauce

We host a weekly podcast, Above Board, discussing privacy and business in the digital age

Frequently asked questions

Can I use the same Fathom plan for multiple sites?

Yes, you can add unlimited sites under a single plan, and they all share your monthly page views. We also have several unlimited features for our customers: unlimited email reports and unlimited custom domains.

How do I add your tracking code?

You paste it into the header of any website or content management system. It’s one single line of code and will never slow down your website’s speed.

Our software easily integrates with all content management and software tools, such at Wordpress, Ghost, Squarespace, Next.js, Vue and more.

What happens if I go over my page view limit?

We never charge for occasional traffic spikes, nor do we ever shut your account off if you reach your plan limit early. There are no surprise fees or extra charges, just fair pricing.

Instead, if you go over your plan two months in a row, or within the first month of joining Fathom, we contact you to upgrade your account. From there you can decide to upgrade or cancel your account (no hard feelings either way). You can even export your data if you leave.

Why isn’t Fathom free like Google Analytics?

If you aren’t paying for a product, you are the product. That’s why Google Analytics is free, because they make enough money off the personal data their customers give them by using their analytics service.

We charge a small and fair fee for Fathom, because our business model is selling software, not data (these very different business models). Our customers gladly pay for our service because they know their data is safe with us and their visitors' privacy is protected.

Why does digital privacy even matter?

You may think that digital privacy doesn’t matter because you have nothing to hide. And that may be true (to some extent), but your data shouldn’t be monetized and sold by huge tech companies who are taking your tastes and preferences and selling them to advertisers (including companies like Cambridge Analytica). These companies are following you around the internet, keeping track of what you do, and then using that knowledge to sell you things or manipulate your thoughts.

By using Fathom, you are making your website a black hole to big tech, meaning they cannot track any data about individuals who visit your website.
